The New Me!

Cruise to Norway!

Join me on a cruise to Norway!

The new me is older. 60 years and bolder.

Hey friends—

THE BIRTHDAY THAT WAS…


I had a beautiful livestream 60th birthday bash on January 14th, arranged by Laurie and Abby and Matt at Club Passim. Thirty of my friends, cohorts, and heroes performed my songs or made up songs for me, and it was a tsunami of love, with a levy of gratitude holding me in place. After a lifetime of doing this— I picked up the guitar at the age of 20– I’m realizing now that my greatest accomplishment is this community of friendships. And I suppose that’s the definition of a life’s success for all of us. It took me 40 years to see what was growing around me. What a party!

AMSTERDAM/NORWAY TRIP THIS SUMMER


Many of you know that I host vacation trips around the world for fans of my music who want to visit bucket list destinations and hear my songs along the way. My goal is to match my bucket list with yours! I’ve led trips to the Caribbean, Alaska, Monhegan Island in Maine, Ireland, historic destinations like Gettysburg and artist colonies in Vermont. This summer’s trip is taking place June 16-23. It begins in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, Amsterdam, and then we step onto a cruise ship to explore the western villages and spectacular fjords of Norway. The beauty will be breathtaking. We will be under the glow of the midnight sun during the moment of the summer solstice. We may stand beneath the green shimmer of the aurora borealis. We will eat well, sleep heartily, and walk about the canals of Amsterdam on the way to see Van Gogh’s original pieces of art. Don’t you want to see “Sunflowers” and “A Starry Night”? And finally learn how to pronounce his name correctly? All the while, you can hear music from me, Don Conoscenti, and Laurie MacAllister. Not a bad deal.

Here's a Rick Steves' video to whet your appetite for Amsterdam :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd8gLq6iZg4

The deadline for our special group rate is ending in two weeks! So if you have been contemplating joining us, don’t wait! It gets more expensive to join us after that! Here's the link for details and pricing:
